Chapter 217 They just have a little conflict
Afraid that his words wouldn't hurt Jin Yanzhou, Jin Qingyu sat down next to him. He reached out to touch Xiao Shuijing, but Jin Yanzhou pushed his hand away.
Jin Yanzhou said, "You lost your hand right after the New Year? Did you do too many bad things and get your comeuppance? Don't touch my daughter with your unlucky hands. What if you get something dirty on her?"
His reminder seemed to bring the others to their attention, who then noticed that Jin Qingyu had a cast on his hand.
Aunt Jin was very anxious: "Qingyu, what happened to your hand?"
"It's nothing serious," Jin Qingyu said casually before turning to Jin Yanzhou and saying, "If there's any retribution, it's nothing compared to what you're going to do, brother. You're about to get married, so I advise you to wash your hands thoroughly to avoid getting anything on them that could cause Miss Shen to become a widow right after marrying into the family."
Oh, on another note, perhaps I'm overestimating my elder brother. Whether this marriage will actually happen is another matter entirely.
It's quite interesting that the bride-to-be isn't even willing to attend such a big event as discussing marriage.
Jin Yanzhou's expression was unpleasant, but he did not respond to Jin Qingyu's words.
Shen Ying was still throwing a tantrum; she didn't want to marry him. Shen Hanzhi locked her up. This time, he was able to bring Xiao Shuijing over without Shen Ying's consent.
However, Jin Yanzhou felt that Shen Ying's reluctance to marry him might not be entirely of her own volition. It was probably because he had disappointed her too many times, and she was afraid, which was why she was at odds with him.
When he handed the wedding dress to Yingying and finished preparing for the wedding, Yingying arrived and saw his sincerity, and her anger subsided.
After all, there was always affection between him and Yingying, unlike Jin Qingyu, who forced Jiang Xingyao into marriage. Jiang Xingyao didn't love him at all, which led to their falling out.
He and Yingying loved each other and had a daughter by blood. He was chaste and never had any involvement with any woman other than Yingying. They would never end up like that.
Jin Yanzhou was still bothered by Shen Ying's absence this time; he was quite certain of this.
While Grandpa Jin and Shen Hanzhi were still talking, Shen Hanzhi's phone suddenly rang. After answering the call, his expression changed immediately.
Grandpa Jin asked with some concern, "What's wrong?"
Shen Han knew: "Something happened at home, I have to go back first, I'll come back tomorrow to talk in detail."
Knowing the situation, Shen Han made Jin Yanzhou restless, and he quickly chased after him: "What's wrong, Uncle? Has something happened to Yingying?"
"That girl ran away, I have to go back and find her right away. You can keep the child here for now," Shen Hanzhi said in a low voice.
"No need to go back, I'm here." Shen Ying's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Her voice was loud enough for everyone in the Jin family inside to hear.
The old man walked to the door with his cane, and the others followed. They saw Shen Ying stride into the Jin family's courtyard, followed by several uniformed police officers.
This guy's attitude clearly indicates he's up to no good.
Shen Hanzhi looked embarrassed and her expression changed immediately: "Shen Ying, what are you doing? Go back now, don't you think you're embarrassing yourself enough?"
Ignoring Shen Hanzhi, Shen Ying said to the police officer beside her, "It was them who not only imprisoned me but also kidnapped my daughter. Please, officer, do justice for me."
"Shen Ying, what nonsense are you spouting again? Yan Zhou is the child's father. What's wrong with him bringing the child to see him?"
"Stop messing around and waste the police officers' time." Shen Hanzhi was a little impatient. He glanced behind Shen Ying and his expression turned even uglier when he saw Yu Shu.
A doting mother often spoils her child. Shen Ying is now in this terrible state because of Yu Shu's indulgence.
It was one thing for the previous minor squabbles to be tolerated, but now that the Shen family and the Jin family are about to be united by marriage, she is actually letting Shen Ying interfere, which is really going too far.
Yu Shu also noticed Shen Hanzhi's gaze. She said, "My daughter is right. This marriage was not her choice. Her father agreed to the marriage on her behalf because he was greedy for the dowry from the Jin family. To prevent her from leaving, he imprisoned her. Now, in order to force her to submit, he has kidnapped her daughter and sent her to the Jin family."
"Officers, this is the 21st century, a society governed by the rule of law. Arranged marriages are outdated. Even if he is Yingying's father, it's inappropriate for him to arbitrarily imprison his own daughter, right? Please, you must stand up for my Yingying. She is my daughter, and her marriage should not be used as a tool for profit."
Before the incident involving Shen Ying, Yu Shu had always been accommodating to Shen Hanzhi. She rarely rebelled against Shen Hanzhi and was always a gentle and dignified Mrs. Shen. But this time, for the sake of her daughter, she had no choice but to rebel.
"Are you crazy? She's being unreasonable, and you're just letting her be unreasonable? Do you even know what you're doing?" Shen Hanzhi's shoulders were trembling with anger. He didn't turn around, but he could feel Old Master Jin's strange gaze fixed on him.
This caused him some concern.
They were terrified that the marriage would be ruined by Shen Ying and her daughter.
Jin Qingyu said, "Tsk, what a show! To force someone to submit, you snatch their child. Brother, are you all robbers?"
His voice abruptly broke into the conversation between Shen Hanzhi and her family, his tone of watching the drama unfold making Shen Hanzhi and Jin Yanzhou's expressions even more unpleasant.
The police officer, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "Mr. Shen, is everything as Miss Shen said? You forced her to marry for huge profits, imprisoned her, and even went so far as to steal her child?"
"How could that be? Officer, you've really misunderstood. My daughter and the eldest son of the Jin family are in love with each other. Otherwise, how could she have a child out of wedlock?"
They just had a minor disagreement. Young people argue all the time, especially since they already have a child. Getting married was a natural progression. As their father, I was just a little anxious about the marriage, but I didn't do anything inappropriate.
Ultimately, this is a family matter, so please don't trouble yourself with it.
With a forced smile, Shen Hanzhi tried to suppress the matter with minimal effort.
"That's not the case. My daughter and the eldest son of the Jin family do have a child, but they broke up a long time ago. Yingying has never wanted to get married. It's all because her father is forcing her."
Even if you're married, you can still get a divorce if things don't go well. There's no rule that couples can't break up. So what if you have a child? Even with the child, that's not a reason to cut off Yingying's freedom to marry," Yu Shu said.
She linked arms with Shen Ying, half of her body blocking Shen Ying's way, confronting Shen Hanzhi in a protective posture.
Shen Hanzhi wanted to argue, but the police said directly, "Mr. Shen, please come with us."
Shen Hanzhi was naturally unwilling, but he also knew that if he continued to stand stalemate with these police officers at the Jin family home after such an incident, it would only displease Old Master Jin, and the marriage might really fall through, which was not the result Shen Hanzhi wanted.
After some deliberation, Shen Hanzhi quickly made a decision and left the Jin family with the police. Shen Ying also stepped forward and snatched Xiao Shuijing from Jin Yanzhou's arms.
Jin Yanzhou watched Shen Ying's resolute back and was about to chase after her when Old Master Jin called out to him.
The Shen family has left.
But even after this incident, the Jin family still couldn't calm down. After returning to the house, the old man made Jin Yanzhou kneel down and questioned him: "Yanzhou, you said you could marry Miss Shen, is this the way you're going to do it?"
Disregarding the other party's wishes and forcibly seizing property—how are you any different from a thug or a robber?
"Grandpa, Yingying is just having a tiff with me. We have feelings for each other. Once I marry her, she..."
"But she doesn't want to marry you now. Even if you had a deep relationship before, it's not a reason for you to bully her and force her. Our Jin family has no such rules."
"You've disappointed me greatly in this matter. Miss Shen doesn't want to marry you, and you don't have the ability to get her to agree. So let's call off this marriage." The old man said.
He rubbed his temples, his face showing utter exhaustion.
His son was a constant source of trouble, so he had long since given up on Jin Manchuan. But his two grandsons were equally troublesome.
Moreover, each of them failed because of matters of the heart, which made the old man even more furious.
Jin Yanzhou said, "That's not how it is, Grandpa. Yingying is just being stubborn. She will definitely agree to marry me. Besides, how can the bloodline of my Jin family be allowed to be lost outside?"
"Ha, now you've realized that the Jin family bloodline can't be allowed to flow outside?"
When the Shen family's daughter was pregnant, didn't I tell her that you could marry her?
For your own selfish desires, you kept delaying, making that girl follow you and have your child without any status or identity. Now that she's heartbroken and doesn't want you anymore, you're unhappy. Jin Yanzhou, what makes you so sure that the Shen family girl is willing to marry you?
"That's settled then. From now on, you will kneel in the ancestral hall. Unless Miss Shen herself agrees to marry you, you cannot go to her or harass her again," said Old Master Jin.
"Why should I?" Jin Yanzhou protested. "Grandpa, I've already said that Yingying and I were just in a normal relationship. We had some disagreements, but we talked them out and we were fine. In the end, we were going to be together anyway. Why can't you let me see her?"
What kind of torment did Jin Qingyu inflict on Jiang Xingyao? He kept a mistress outside, allowed the other woman to humiliate Jiang Xingyao, and even Jiang Xingyao's child died because of him. You even allowed him to see Jiang Xingyao.
"I just had a little disagreement with Yingying. I've never done anything to wrong her. Why won't you allow me to see Yingying? Grandpa, they're all your grandsons; you're showing far too much favoritism."
